We’re incredibly proud to support the first Manx duo to row the Atlantic, raising money for Crossroads Isle of Man along the way, and who now hold the Atlantic Dash record of 49 days, 3 hours and 33 minutes, 🌊

The Cheerfulness Atlantic Row crew is made up of Tim, one of our wonderful property owners, and his friend of 40 years, Mike. Last week, they completed their Atlantic crossing from the sun-dappled shores of Lanzarote to Antigua. Their journey saw them facing waves of up to 30 feet, sudden storms, scorching days, and freezing nights… No easy feat!

One of our incredible housekeepers, Beth, has been featured by The Level Up Club for her inspiring journey - empowering women and motivating young professionals across the Isle of Man 🤍

Beth’s path took her from hospital theatres to life at sea, where she discovered a deep passion for fishing and the ever‑changing rhythm of the water. And when she’s not out in the Irish Sea, Beth brings that same passion and determination to Island Escapes 🌊✨

Beth shared, ‘And when the wind blows, and I can’t fish, I work in housekeeping for Island Escapes. They’re an incredible company to work for and have always been so supportive of my fishing career. The whole team is brilliant.’

We couldn’t be prouder of Beth and are honoured to have her as a part of our team.

What does courage really look like?Sometimes it looks like swapping a predictable career path for wild seas. Sometimes it looks like standing your ground in an industry where not everyone expects you to belong. And sometimes it looks like chasing a dream not just for yourself, but for the little eye...
